DANGER
Risk of being struck by lightning
If the product is used with accessories, for example on masts, staffs, poles, you may increase
the risk of being struck by lightning. Danger from high voltages also exists near power lines.
Lightning, voltage peaks, or the touching of power lines can cause damage, injury and death.
Precautions:
▶
Do not use the product in a thunderstorm as you can increase the risk of being struck by
lightning.

for the product is given below. Always follow the regulations in force in your country
regarding grounding antennas and masts. These installations must be carried out by an
authorised specialist.
▶
To prevent damages due to indirect lightning strikes (voltage spikes) cables, for example
for antenna, power source or modem should be protected with appropriate protection ele-
ments, like a lightning arrester. These installations must be carried out by an authorised
specialist.
▶
If there is a risk of a thunderstorm, or if the equipment is to remain unused and unatten-
ded for a long period, protect your product additionally by unplugging all systems compon-
ents and disconnecting all connecting cables and supply cables, for example, instrument -
antenna.
